Generally speaking, one primary dinner plate is served per customer at a Mexican restaurant. Mexican cuisine is famous for the "combination platter" or "combo plate" format. Instead of serving courses on separate plates, a standard Mexican restaurant meal aggregates your main item (like an enchilada, taco, or chile relleno) along with all of your sides (typically Mexican rice and refried or charro beans) onto one single, large dinner plate or oval platter. La Catina is plate happy! For my order of 2 tacos, refried beans and rice I was presented with three large rectangular plates. As there were three of us a forest of crockery soon engulfed our booth table what with main course, sides and beverages. Foot placement was uncomfortable because of the crossed beams supporting the table causing one's feet to be tucked in limiting stretching. A specialty dip was a melange of lettuce, taco chips and beans which defied dipping and required a fork. The tacos were open faced and inadequate to the job of ingredient containment and needed a fork. The atmosphere is warm and the staff enthusiastic. My guess is that they have a serving station plan and each station has his own crockery. bottom line and cheerful atmosphere was not matched by the difficulties serving plan. read more

Lunch specials are a good value. Mine was absolutely enormous, really a lot of bigger than it needs to be but good if you want leftovers to take home. I ordered chile Colorado. This entree was beyond generously sized and every bite of beef's was tender. This particular item was also VERY spicy. . The salsa that comes with the chips was bland so I was shocked at how intense the Chile Colorado was. Service for me at the bar was good. An extensive rotating daily happy hour offers some deals for the after work crowd. read more

La Fiesta Cantina was a quick little stop for my boyfriend and me while we were traveling. I was craving tacos, so we ordered online and grabbed the food to go. When I went inside to pick it up, I noticed the space was decorated with colorful Mexican accents and had a warm, welcoming feel. Everything looked clean and well kept, which I always appreciate. Service was quick and the pickup process was smooth. I ordered the chicken tacos and guacamole. The guacamole was made in a way I have never had before, and I actually really enjoyed it. It had a different twist that worked well. The chicken tacos were good. If I am being picky, I usually prefer pulled chicken on my tacos, but I still enjoyed them overall. It was a nice, quick stop and I am glad we decided to grab food here while passing through. read more

Quick, friendly service, tasty food and a real party vibe! My parents and I visited for lunch and there were a decent amount of people dining at the bar & seated at tables. We started with complimentary chips & salsa, a frozen paloma and jalapeno poppers. The chips & salsa were good, but pretty standard for a Mexican restaurant. The paloma had a nice grapefruity taste and came garnished with a beautiful edible flower. The jalapeno poppers were just a cooked from frozen appetizer (my dad's pick) and in my opinion they were ok. Definitely not something I would choose to order at a Mexican restaurant haha. We all enjoyed our main entrees, which were a good size for the cost and were filling. We had a chicken enchilada, chicken fajitas and chimichanga. read more

I'm happy to report that we had a really nice time at La Fiesta Cantina. The view from our table onto Allen Street, the interaction with the server, the food, and the overall atmosphere were all truly enjoyable. The Enchiladas Supreme with Mole Sauce was outstanding, although it was a little light on the amount of sauce on top. My Pollo Cancún had all my favorite flavors. Plus the chicken and shrimp were cooked to perfection. The biggest surprise was the Chile Poblano from the side orders menu. It was a substantial breaded poblano pepper, generously stuffed with cheese, and topped with a truly delicious sauce. This dish is a must-try for sharing. If I'm nearby and craving some delicious, comforting Mexican food, I won't hesitate to come back for more. There were so many dishes on the menu that we wanted to try, and we'll. read more

The Cancun fajita dish was amazing! It was a busy night and the service was on point. Our server was attentive and timely. Amazing experience and great food. Current music with a fairly good sound system and servers were energetic and on key when singing happy birthday to folks. If I ever get back to Buffalo I will go again! read more

We came here for lunch today and really enjoyed it! There was plenty of seating and the space was all decorated in Bills and Halloween decorations everywhere! I got the fiesta taquitos and they were really good! I loved how crunchy the shells were and it came with salad and rice. The presentation was amazing with the flag and the rice was perfectly shaped. Our food came out so quick and our server was really nice. Overall highly recommend! read more

I went here on a Friday during the day and there were not many people there, but we ate outside. They have a cute little area in front of the restaurant and you can see all the action on allen. I got a burrito and fries with a mango frozen margarita. The food was good, a little pricey for the burrito being kind of small, but I would go back and try something different. The burrito looks bigger than it actually was compared to some other places I've tried. Good vibes here though and our server was nice read more

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area, quickly speeding past a few others staples that I visit. The decore is pretty typical, I appreciate their attention to detail as their name is carved into the benches. Although it can be a bit cramped due to the little distance between tables the chairs and benches themselves are pretty comfortable. The food has been really good, in fact the mole sauce is my absolute favorite. I stick to a few favorites when coming routinely. Those favorites being chicken tamales, Chile pobalano and now the chile relleno. read more

By far my most favorite mexican place!!! I do not eat meat so i got a cheese fajita quesadilla which i never heard of and the way i scarfed down that food should be a crime!!!! It was so fresh the veggies gave a perfect cruch i hate soggy veggies the staff was so nice fast and accommodating they play music when you order certain drinks this place was a 10/10!!! Parking sucks of course but before you say something everyone knows that Allen St has never had good parking! Just know that after you park and go inside this place all your anxiety will be left at the door!!!! read more

They have a great atmosphere here along with tasty food and strong drinks. The staff was great getting us everything we needed and keeping the drinks filled. The calamari were great, and we loved the chips, and salsa had a great flavour. The dishes came out hot and big portions. A fun filled evening with the music and margarita towers. Will be back for dinner and a show. read more

All I can say is WOW! This new spot blew away all my expectations going in. I had heard of this new spot a couple months ago but kept getting sidetracked from going. I finally went and I am kicking myself for not going sooner. I usually get carne asada tacos but decided to switch it up with a new place and tried their Al Pastor tacos. I am so glad I did. They were absolutely phenomenal! The flavors were so complimentary of each other with the pineapple and pork. The onion on top was fresh. Cannot be happier with them. The rice and beans were also very good. It was a large portion size too. But I always can tell how good a place is going to be by their chips and salsa. I knew it was going to be a good meal because the salsa was a great flavor with just the right amount of heat and the chips were very good. I kept going back to the chips and salsa even when my food came out. The restaurant has a great modern vibe but also has that cantina quality. The tables and booths were all clean and nicely themed. Our service was incredible. So much so that I felt like it only took a few minutes after we ordered before we got our food. So fast. I will definitely be back here for more. They have a great lunch menu that I might have to try more from next time! read more

Went for lunch and got one of their lunch specials and I really. I had the El Primo burrito which was filled with chorizo and chicken and came with refried beans and rice. Beyond the deliciousness of the food, the service was top-notch! They were so quick that food came out blazing fast and I'm talking from the time we ordered to the time it got to table felt like less than five minutes, even though I'm sure it was a little longer than that. Barely had time to save her my chips and salsa, lol. Definitely will go back again to try more things on the menu and possibly check out the patio before it gets too cool outside. read more

The atmosphere is lively and warm, I enjoy people watching while I wait for friends to arrive. The Sabres game was on so it was being broadcast from every tv!! We received quick and attentive service from friendly hosts and waitstaff. I absolutely love the food. I have never had a bad meal. The only thing I would like to see changed is the rice and beans. I feel that the beans are too runny and the rice lacks in flavor/spice. Everything else I have tried has been delicious. The margaritas are definitely what keep me coming back for more read more

5/5 stars **La Fiesta Cantina** I came to La Fiesta Cantina for dinner, but I left feeling like I'd just been on a culinary vacation to both Mexico and the Dominican. Somebody call my travel agent because I need to book a trip ASAP! Let's start with the Mango Ceviche. This dish was a tropical party on a plate, shrimp so fresh I'm pretty sure it winked at me, marinated in citrus with mango and avocado that made my taste buds do a happy salsa dance. The pico de gallo was the confetti, and the colorful tortilla chips around it were basically my cheerleaders as I scooped up every last bite. I felt like I needed a sombrero to match the vibe. Then came the Birria Chimichangas and oh my goodness, these crispy beauties were stuffed with juicy birria meat, cheese, onions, and cilantro, topped with avocado sauce, sour cream, and pico de gallo. It was like a flavor explosion that made me question all my life choices up until that moment why haven't I been eating these every day?! The consommé on the side for dipping was so good I almost asked for a straw. I added rice and beans for an extra $2, and it was worth every penny. Now, let's talk about the piña colada, hands down the best I've had since my last trip to the Dominican Republic . It was so creamy and perfectly sweet, with just the right amount of rum to make me feel like I was lounging on a beach with sand between my toes. I closed my eyes and could practically hear the steel drums. I'm now daydreaming about booking a getaway because this drink reminded me how much I miss those vibes. The staff was amazing, though they did chuckle when I asked if I could move into the kitchen to be closer to the food. La Fiesta Cantina is a gem whether you're craving a taste of Mexico or a sip of the tropics, they've got you covered. I'll be back, probably with a suitcase to pack up the chimichangas for my next trip! read more

We got a strawberry margarita pitcher and it seemed like there was little to no tequila in it. The food came out cold and was very bland. The corn dip was actually good, but the size of it does not match the price at all. We asked multiple times for water and napkins, but they never brought it out. There's a better place down the street called Dos Ranchos. It has better food, margaritas that actually have tequila in it, and is more reasonably priced. read more

What great Mexican food. Mad haven't been here sooner. The spot is on the small size but the vibe is awesome. The food was delicious. Definitely top three burria tacos and quesadillas for sure. The portion sizes are nice. Went with a large groups and everyone loved there dishes! I went with the birra tacos and would do it again and again. I can still taste cilantro and not mad about it. I also ordered the chicken fajitas. Again great flavor, nice portion, highly recommend them. The drinks were just on point as the food. There are very generous with their pours and make a great green tea shot. I would recommend a flight of those! The server was very friendly and great at up selling those tasty drinks. read more

Chose to come here for lunch with some colleagues and was pleasantly surprised. Although not "authentic" Mexican, it was pretty close and very tasty, not to mention visually appealing. They had lunch specials that were reasonably priced, and we chose the breakfast burrito, chimichanga, and chicken tortilla soup. The portions were large enough that none of us finished and one had enough for another whole meal. We did not order any special drinks this time but will be back and may at that time. A great experience and good food! read more

La Fiesta is a great New Mexican restaurant on Allen. The owners have really done a good job making the space beautiful and welcoming as well as creating a great outdoor dining area. We tried it day one and let me say that when we tried it weeks later after they had gotten their stride it was 100% better. I had tacos a la Diabla the second visit and they were delicious. I've since ordered them again during Allentown art fest as take away and they were equally delicious. The order comes with two types is salsa (hot and milder) as well as beans and rice. I also tried a traditional lime Margarita on the rocks and it was perfect as well as very beautifully presented with a lime wedge and orchid blossom. I also tried an odd drink item with beet juice, a beet forward margarita - if you like beets I suggest you try it. It was good! The cheese and chorizo dip is also on point and chips are colorful and delicious with the accompanying salsa. You should note that at night this joint is more night clubby with louder music and lights. If that's your jam I totally recommend checking it out them. If not I recommend going for lunch or an early dinner and enjoying the beautiful patio if weather permits. read more

What a refreshing and pleasing transformation of the old Don Tequilas! It has been upgraded to a far more sophisticated space compared to what it was previously. The bartender Abbey was quite pleasant and made a fabulous margarita! They offer a wide selection of beers, tequilas as well as craft cocktails to choose from. The food menu is large but not overly so. Of course, they offer Mexican fare and a small selection of American fare. The first round of chips and house-made salsa are complimentary. I had their offering of three tacos, rice, and refried beans. I chose chicken, chorizo, and carnitas for my tacos served on corn tortillas with sides of avocado and a wonderful house sauce. Everything was great! La Fiesta Cantina is a welcome addition to my beloved Allentown. I look forward to returning soon! read more

The food was all super good with the exception of the guacamole salsa. I also would have prefer the diabla sauce came on the taco rather than the side but not a deal breaker. The corn tortilla seem like they were make in house and super fresh. The jalapeño poppers were good but not sure if they were made I house or frozen. I forgot to ask. The beer was cold but the margarita was not as good as one I've had in other establishments. The decor was nice and the overall ambience as nice. The server was nice as well as all the rest of the staff we interacted with. read more

Food was amazing, service was 10/10, the margarita tower was so good. The margaritas tasted more natural flavoring than syrups (love that). Great atmosphere. Big menu. Had French fries for my 4 year old and asked them to bring them out first because we ordered hers with our drinks. They came out right away. Will definitely be back. The only downfall was a homeless man coming to the tables asking for money. But we are in downtown Buffalo and chose to sit outside. read more

I was devastated when Don Tequila closed. This place is AMAZING!! I usually always get choriqueso, but switched up it for the one with ground beef and pico de gallo. The cheese pull is unreal and I could bath in it. One of the best quesos I've ever had. Chili poblanos are my favorite, they are huge and delish. I also got the birria burrito. Better believe I smothered it in that queso. Omg and the fries!! Thought the prices were a bit steep. Not at all. For the quality, taste and massive portions it's worth every penny. I had left overs for 3 days. 10/10!!!! I do wish there was a single/side cheese enchilada. Dad said the house hot sauce wasn't hot at all. Sadly, I was too wrapped up in my own buffet to try some. read more

Don't use any credit cards here. Period. I've been here four or five times since the relaunch not long ago. Always good food and Margs but bar service is spotty. Never seen the same tender twice, not a good sign. Three weeks ago I had a late dinner at the bar and made the mistake of giving them my card at the beginning of my visit and I didn't receive it back immediately. An imprint is one thing, holding it is another. This visit was on Friday and by Wednesday I received texts that the card was used three times, first was an imprint as usual, the others were manually entered. This sent an alert then my being contacted by the issuer. Charges were immediately removed but I had to wait more than a week to get the replacement card. Luckily my cc company is in top of things and caught this theft. A cool place in the Elmwood area but at this point, not worth the chance...unless you have cash. read more
